Question:

Do you have a roof rack that will carry two kayaks on a 2017 Tesla model x? If so what are the specs on it. Thanks very much.

I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars part # 298-SX6000B for the Tesla Model X. The SeaSucker bars attach to the Tesla's roof with 6 vacuum cups and allow you to carry your kayaks when it's time to go kayaking. When you are done with your adventure you can remove the rack and easily remove for storage so the rack is not always on your roof compared to other roof racks that can be difficult to remove and reinstall. The SeaSucker brand is the only roof rack that works on the Tesla Model X's roof however it does have a 150 lb weight capacity so you want to make sure your kayaks do not exceed that weight. I do recommend to use the cable lock part # e98891 and the SeaSucker Cable Anchor part # 298-BA0020 to protect your investments.

If you do not have a kayak carrier, I recommend 2 sets of Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. They carry the kayaks on the their sides so you have space for both kayaks on the roof. You are not be able to use the falcon wing doors on the Tesla Model X when carrying the kayaks or with the roof rack on the roof.
